    d. Applicant: City of St. George.

Washington County, Utah. This project does not occupy any tribal or 
Federal lands.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791(a)-825(r) 
and sections 799 and 801.
    h. Applicant Contact: Mr. Rod Carter, Generation Superintendent;

    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: April 4, 2005.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: Ms. 
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please include the project 
number (P-6662-006) on any comments or motions filed. Comments, 
protests, and interventions may be filed electronically via the 
Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link. 
The Commission strongly encourages e-filings.
    k. Description of Request: The City of St. George, licensee of the 
Lower Gunlock Hydroelectric Project, has requested Commission approval 
to surrender the exemption for the Gunlock Project (project). The 
project reservoir, Gunlock Lake, is not included under the exemption. 
An Operation Inspection of the project in 2004 reveals that the hydro 
facility has been removed from service, and that the project is no 
longer capable of generating power. All project features were found to 
be in good condition, and the overall maintenance of the project was 
adequate. No significant deficiencies were noted. Upon approval of the 
proposed surrender, the project would no longer be subject to 
Commission inspections and regulations. The Utah Department of Natural 
Resources has indicated that it would continue to regulate the dam if 
the request for surrender is granted.
    l. Location of the Application: This filing is available for review 
at the Commission or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov, using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to

[email protected] or toll-free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    n. Comments, Protests, or Motions To Intervene: Anyone may submit 
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, 
.214. In determining the appropriate action to take, the Commission 
will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those who 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules 
may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments, protests, or 
motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified 
comment date for the particular application.
    o. Filing and Service of Responsive Documents: Any filings must 
bear in all capital letters the title ``COMMENTS'', ``RECOMMENDATIONS 
FOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS'', ``PROTEST'', or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE'', as 
applicable, and the Project Number of the particular application to 
which the filing refers. A copy of any motion to intervene must also be 
served upon each representative of the Applicant specified in the 
particular application.
    p. Agency Comments: Federal, State, and local agencies are invited 
to file comments on the described applications. A copy of the 
applications may be obtained by agencies directly from the Applicant. 
If an agency does not file comments within the time specified for 
filing comments, it will be presumed to have no comments. One copy of 
an agency's comments must also be sent to the Applicant's 
representatives.

Secretary.
